Product description
As children stack planks and explore different structural forms, they directly engage with concepts of physical balance and stability.
Handling the solid pine planks strengthens fine motor skills as kids manipulate, place, and align the pieces.
Stacking the planks with precision requires hand-eye coordination, especially when aiming for taller or more intricate structures.
Kids learn how to recognize shapes, angles and diagrams, combining them into a 3-dimensional model. Beginner, Intermediate and Expert levels.
-
